How about things that never were but have always existed? Been waiting my entire adult life (I’m 42) for GRRM to finish Game of Thrones. My kid was 2 when the last book came out and now he’s driving lol

I was gonna say Patrick Rothfuss' King Killer Chronicles series. We're never getting Doors of Stone. I loved his writing, but dammit, I've just given up on it at this point.

Oh wow I forgot about that series. It’s been like a decade lol. I didn’t even realize the third never released. What’s with these good writers not finishing their projects

The stress of success, many eyes watching, and not publishing is less crushing than publishing a shit ending that ruins the trilogy and wipes out all interest in the first two books.

It’s a shame I don’t find Sanderson books all that interesting because that guy puts out books like a Gatling gun.

I’ve literally tied myself over with several series of Sanderson’s while waiting for the final book in the Kingkiller Chronicle series.

I guess there’s always the reassurance that Sanderson will probably pick up any major series that needs finishing haha.

Way of Kings did nothing for you? :o

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

Nah not really. It’s well thought out and all that but it just seems kind of “clinical” to me. I like a lot of grit (cormac McCarthy is my favorite author), so I lean more towards Abercrombie or mark lawrence.

Steven Erikson is another I wish I could get into but I find myself rereading the same stuff over and over until ultimately giving up.
